The purpose of these Guidelines is to assist Recognized
Organizations in the validation of ship's Electric Power Tables (EPT)
for calculation of Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI). As such,
these Guidelines support the implementation of "GUIDELINES ON THE
METHOD OF CALCULATION OF THE ATTAINED ENERGY EFFICIENCY DESIGN INDEX
FOR NEW SHIPS" ("EEDI Calculation Guidelines", hereafter) and "GUIDELINES
ON SURVEY AND CERTIFICATION OF THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY DESIGN INDEX".
This document will also assist shipowners, shipbuilders, ship designers,
and manufacturers in relation to aspects of developing more energy
efficient ships and also in understanding the procedures for the EPT-EEDI
validation.
